Paper Dresses Made of Envelopes

Haeley Giambalvo of Design Improvised attended Alt Summit last week in New York City and snapped several photos of this terrific mannequin while visiting Kate’s Paperie [edit: no longer in business] in SoHo. I spotted Haeley's photo on Instagram and had to find out more... she couldn't have been nicer and sent over these pics right away even though she and her family are in the midst of moving!

The store is chock full of beautiful paper and gifts and always has clever displays.

I emailed Kate's Paperie to ask about the Envelopes Diva and was told she was designed by Greg Urra, the store's visual director. If you happen to be in NYC and would like to see her for yourself, she'll be in the store for about 30-45 days.

If you haven't ever visited Kate's Paperie online, you're in for a treat. You'll find inspirational crafts and The Tear Sheet, where a variety of paper artists are featured.

That envelope dress is awesome! Such a creative design. Love how it inspires us to use something differently than it's original purpose. Visiting from www.ritewhileucan.com where we too are crazy for all things paper!
